PS4 Sales Top 70 Million, Sony Says 130 PSVR Titles in Development

Nintendo Switch becomes fastest selling console of the year in Japan with 2.5 million units sold

These are incredible numbers, as Sony now leads the console generation in hardware and software sales.

As of December 3, the console of PlayStation 4 has accumulated 70.6 million sales worldwide, bringing together sales of the PS4 Standard and the PS4 Pro. As a bonus, PlayStation VR has surpassed 2 million units - not as impressive as the PS4 numbers, but still enough to qualify PSVR as the most successful VR headset on the market (excluding cheap solutions like Google Cardboard). Likewise, over 150 titles have been released for PlayStation VR since its launch, and over 12.2 million copies of PSVR titles have been sold worldwide across retail and digital sales on the PlayStation Store.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the latest milestones for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR as well as PS4 and PS VR games.

Sony has sold a total of 5.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles in Japan, although the console has been available for considerably longer than Nintendo's new console.

House also added that "I can not thank our fans and partners enough", stating that "their support, since the launch of very first PlayStation in 1994, has helped to make PlayStation one of the biggest console gaming network in the world". On the PlayStation VR front, PlayStation says that over 130 games are now in development and set to be released by 2018. Their support, since the launch of very first PlayStation in 1994, has helped to make PlayStation one of the biggest console gaming network in the world.

Of course, things can change in a heartbeat next year as Sony looks to start 2018 swinging. Sony pointed out strong third-party titles such as Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Monster Hunter: World, and Yakuza Kiwami 2.
